WITH switchover beginning in south east Wales on March 3, I'm supporting the Switchover Help Scheme's Helping Hand campaign by urging everyone to make sure older and disabled people in their area know about the help they can get from the Help Scheme to switch to digital TV.

We can all be 'Helping Hands,' making sure our neighbours, friends and relatives are aware of the help offered by the Switchover Help Scheme. So come on, let's all lend a helping hand and make sure that everyone is prepared for the digital switchover!

For more information about the Switchover Help Scheme, or to find out if you are eligible for help, call the free helpline number on 0800 40 87 654, or 0800 40 85 905 for the Welsh helpline. Textphone users can call 0800 40 85 936. For more information, visit www.help scheme.co.uk or e-mail info@helpscheme.co.uk Derek Brockway BBC Cymru Wales Weatherman
